Na Seacht dTeampaill, or the Seven Churches, was the most important pilgrimage site on the Aran Islands during the Middle Ages. Today only two churches survive: Teampall Bhreacáin and Teampall an Phoill.
Teampall Bhreacáin (begun in the 8th century) and Teampall an Phoill (from the 15th century) are flanked by a number of rectangular houses, which are believed to be the only pilgrim hostels to survive from late Medieval Ireland.

A National Monument in the Republic of Ireland is a structure or site, the preservation of which has been deemed to be of national importance and therefore worthy of state protection. If the land adjoining the monument is essential to protect it, this land may also be protected.
